Are you overthinking things? Overthinking can cause worry, panic, lack of action, and fear… so in today’s EFT scripts, we’ll tap to stop overthinking things.
Please note that I’m an EFT Master Practitioner and Mindset Coach. I share these EFT scripts to help you understand how you can use EFT tapping in your own life.
If you’re new to EFT, Emotional Freedom Techniques, or just need a recap, check out my EFT – HOW TO TAP GUIDE
In this post, I’ll start with a very simple script for general overthinking, followed by a positive EFT script to think clearly. Then I have some tips to help when you are overthinking something specific.
>> I’ve created a printable version of the scripts in this blog post. Information is at the end of this page.
Stop overthinking EFT Tapping
Set-up – Tapping the side of the hand, say… Even though I keep overthinking things, I choose now to release these thoughts and clear my mind. Repeat 3 times.
- Top of the head: This overthinking
- Forehead: Release these thoughts
- Eyebrow: This overthinking
- Side of the eye: Release these thoughts
- Under the eye: This overthinking
- Under the nose: Clear these thoughts
- Under the mouth: This overthinking
- Collarbone: Clear these thoughts
- Side of the hand: This overthinking
Repeat this full round several times. Take a nice deep breath at the end of each tapping round.
Next, you want to focus on what you do want instead. The phrase I came up with is… “My thoughts are clear and I am calm”
You can use a different phrase that works better for you. Just ask yourself… How do I want to feel? And tap on that.
Positive EFT – Clear thinking
- Top of the head: My thoughts are clear and I am calm
- Forehead: I’m clear-thinking
- Eyebrow: I am calm
- Side of the eye: My thoughts are clear and I am calm
- Under the eye: I’m clear-thinking
- Under the nose: I am calm
- Under the mouth: My thoughts are clear and I am calm
- Collarbone: I’m clear-thinking
- Side of the hand: I am calm
You can repeat this round as many times as you want and come back to it regularly to keep your focus on clear thinking.
EFT Tapping For Specific Overthinking
Some of us are just generally overthinking all kinds of things, but then other times it can be that you’re overthinking something very specific.
In this situation where you have something specific that you’re overthinking, make your set-up very specific.
EXAMPLE SET-UP: Even though I’m really overthinking this decision I have to make about my work, I choose now to release these jumbled thoughts so that I can think clearly and calmly.
Tap and talk to help release overthinking
Another way to use EFT tapping is to simply start tapping on the EFT points and talk about whatever it is that you’ve been overthinking. There are no right or wrong words to use, Just keep tapping and saying whatever you’re thinking.
This is a super-effective way of releasing your thoughts if they do feel very jumbled. So don’t worry about what you say making sense.
Affirmations for overthinking
Once you’ve done your EFT session, you can support yourself with positive affirmations such as…
- My thoughts are clear and focused
- I have a clear mind and I can think clearly about any situation
- I am calm
- My thoughts are calm
- My thoughts make sense
- I release any stress thinking from this situation
You can also use any affirmation that you find helpful with EFT – Read Affirmations and EFT – Why they’re a power combination.
